User Roles and Responsibilities

Sitecore uses a browser-based interface that allows all user roles to access the content management system. Because these roles don’t have the same access requirements, not all users need the same level of access to features. For this reason different roles were created to enable each user to have the proper interface functionality based on their defined role.

The level of role determines which areas and functionality will be available to the user in the Sitecore interface. Some examples include:

Application shortcuts available in the Desktop interface’s Sitecore menu

Commands available in the Content Editor interface

Commands available in the Control Panel application

Publishing rights

User Roles

The following three user roles each reflect different levels of Sitecore access. All roles are required to follow conventions of the Fletcher Web Style Guide and abide by Fletcher Web policies.
